What can you do on a snowy, cold January afternoon? Get some friends together and make perogies! We make quite a team with everyone at their post. I rolled out the dough and cut out the rounds, R was boiling and making sure everyone had a drink. Our four friends did an excellent job of packing the potato, bacon, onion mixture into the rounds and pinching. There was quite a lot of discussion about technique and form at this stage and R made frequent comments about the lack of productivity from one end of the table. After hours of work and laughter we sat down to a lovely dinner and then the doorbell rang. Some friends that knew about our get together but had a commitment with their daughter showed up, their timing was impeccable. So we added a couple more chairs and had a lovely evening. Everyone took some perogies home, even the two late comers because we're nice, and we made plans to do it again next year.
This is one of my favorite things in the world. I look forward to it so much. :)
